hi! this topic is all over the place ... so far from the 1st page alone the following are the topics i have found to be similar ... discussing about relatively the same thing: (1) after running nlite, a few files are missing from the root folder, setup.exe, autorun.inf, etc (2) Yet Another Missing Files Issue (3) Missing file & unregistered fixes after winxp install (4) a lot of files missing ehen using nlite i am certain there are still others ... perhaps, we can post all of the related concerns in 1 place so as to minimize redundancy of discussion ... likewise, it would help others with the similar concerns ... lastly, it'll ease nuhi's response in 1 consolidated thread please don't take any offense as none is intended ...
